Tamana was amazing through out the whole process of getting my visa, she was always available to answer my questions and talked me through each and every step, it made my whole experience so pleasant and I’m so grateful for her expertise and knowledge, I now have my visa and work permit to Canada and am so excited to be able to live and work with my fiancé. We are so grateful. I would not hesitate to recommend.

I had the best experience with Visamigrate; I started off talking to a young man named Dan and he was excellent, answered all my questions and helped me to feel at ease as this was going to be the start of a new life for me. Once my deposit was paid I was passed over to Tamanna who was absolutely excellent, I cannot fault this girl at all; I\'m not the easiest to work with and press buttons I shouldn\'t press and what have you but Tamanna took it all in her strides and I got my letter of invitation only 19 days after being selected from the pool. I am forever in debt with the staff at Visamigrate as they have given me a new life in Canada, bye bye UK and hello the beginning of my life. Thank you again guys, couldn\'t and wouldn\'t have done it without you

After making the decision to go to Canada we engaged with Visamigrate to help us get our working holiday Visa\'s. I was a bit sceptical to start with due to the initial cost but they way that they helped us and handled our case was absolutely superb. Our case worker, Tamanna, even worked over Christmas to help me get my visa. Worth every penny. Not once did I feel stressed about the process and any questions I had were answered within 24 hours. The CIC website is quite confusing and I will admit that had we not gone through Visamigrate we would not have managed the process.
